Why should I do that?
3) The technology of D&D is Medieval, not Ancient as in Ancient Rome and earlier which was the time of those pagan deities.
First of all, bravo for attempting this, I did something quite similar but using a different rule set (warhammer frpg 2nd ed) and a different locale (started in Anatolia, headed east). Time period was very similar (1150). I also of course had very different assumptions than you - my elves weren't in America...
But anyway. I'm afraid you are incorrect on #3. The technology of D&D is not medieval, it's early renaissance. There is no full plate in 1100, and there aren't any rapiers either (or halberds...). In fact the whole armor section is a mess. Studded leather *doesn't exist*.
(I'm not done reading the thread but I wanted to point this out in case it wasn't picked up and I forgot)
